Here's another beginner card using only a few supplies. After scoring the sides to make the folds, I stamped the holly from the SU "Christmas Blessings" set in green on the panels. (If you have only black, you could color the leaves and berries.)
Next, I stamped the greeting in black on green cs and used a square scallop punch. Any large punch would do, or you could just cut a square. Since I had the brad and light green tab, I used it to hold the gate closed. I could have cut a holly leaf and mounted it with a dimensional in the same place instead. Inside is "Merry Christmas" stamped in black.
Materials used: white cs, one scrap of green cs, double stick tape, scallop punch, red gem brad with green tab, green and black inks, and 3 stamps.
TIP: Make sure you put tape on just the left side of the square so you don't seal the card shut!

I'll admit to something...I actually have glued both sides before!!
Very nice, Doris! And thanks for the tip. I hate it when I glue something in the wrong place!
Hello Doris! Thanks for your kind comment on my blog. I live in NJ as well - more toward the center of the state. The humidity is still brutal. Love this card, and I love the idea of posting a beginner category. I do remember having few supplies. Now I have too many!
